Hi Guys and Girls,
First of all apologies if you tried to connect at lunchtime today, we were upgrading to V2 of the forum, which includes a portal which we can add new features into over the next couple of weeks, if you posted or PM''d anyone this morning please check the post/PM is still there and if not please re-do it, very sorry if it has affected you, I only think there were one or two posts affected between the backup and the site going down.
If anyone is a Graphics Wizard then please get in touch, we really need to get a more professional logo that we can all be proud of and wouldn't mind having on our bikes to further promote the forum and grow the members.
As always we would like to hear your opinions on your forum, in fact we expect to hear what you like and what you don't.
All the best

Not really ! lots of 2:30am nights recently, looking forward to my trip to america on Thursday, lots of airplane time, whatever I do I cannot stay awake on planes, not even the short 50 minutes from London to Jersey ! as soon as the plane moves I'm asleep, I think it is all the flights out to Asia in the past I have trained myself to sleep no matter what.
Have a whole load of stuff working on bringing in tonight, some stuff I really like that came with the major upgrade today are :-
Smilies even on a quickreply/quickpost.
PM now flashes red when you have one.
With the portal you can re-arrange it how you like, you click the 4 arrow button in the top right to move the boxes.
You can slide the portal boxes out the way when in the forum, and again move them about.
I don't like that we lost the Thumbs Up / Thanks post, I hate taking features away when I upgrade things, but it just knackers the forum for some reason, I am speaking to the developer though so it will be back.
WIll let you know in this thread when I have some of the new features in tonight.
Mike

Can you add a thumbs down button

Re: Major Upgrade to the Forum

Nope you can only thumbs down once you have thumbed up, which means you couldn't have thanked one person let alone 100 otherwise you would have noticed it

Just to let you know that I changed the welcome picture on the portal so it looks like a Yamaha owners site when anyone arrives ! It's not perfect but better than the stock one
